Wow. Thanks guys. I never thought there would be love for stock junk. Mine is an '88 I bought 2 years ago with 37k original from the original owner. It had the recall paint in '92 I believe but that's all. I payed 5800. I didn't think that was too bad for a complete virgin.

No way man i'm a big fan of the stockers. I love the look the rear meats give to the 10holes and the overall car. I build my car basically stock with exhaust and rims for the most part. Its not that fast but its fun to drive, thats the point isn't it?

Hell yeah that's the point. I enjoy it. It's not exactly 100% stock, and I like surprising a lot of people.

True.....what I meant was that I like my big fat meat in virgins.


I love the look of a car with big tires in the back, and that raked appearance. Yeah lowered on 17/18's is nice too....just different looks.

Eh. They're overrated. They're usually whiney and hesitant to perform, and then when they do the ride is awkward and rough.

I'm talking about cars, of course...

Of course. Either that or one that's ****in' nuts. My current Stang is in the middle so it could go either way

I plan to have on F'n nuts car, but I've heard from drag racers that the most fun they had was with their 12-13 second street cars. Most of them have gone back to them from what I've seen!

Yup, that seems to be the general consensus. I have a friend who was a big drag radial rcaer back when they were going 9s. He ran with "Big Daddy" and the likes back when things were cheaper and slower. He has had tons of fox's, but now he has a high 11 second GT40 headed race car, and a near bone stock daily driver. He always said he had more fun with the slower, more bolt on oriented cars than the high powered ones.
